Doesn't Jecht have 120,000 HP? But Sin has 140,000 and can annihilate you past a certain number of turns? I just found out weird how the final aeon seems a bit lacking in almighty power. I guess Yu Yevon gets off for being a manipulator instead of a fighter, it just seemed like an easy end to a massive game that has a lot of build-up.

The reason the Final Boss seems to easy, is because you have already over-leveled up (first time I've used this phrase in my life btw) in order to face the side bosses. And I'm not only talking about Dark Aeons...even if you are at a level where you can easily take care of Arena Creations then the final boss is a piece of cake.

True, you are always over-levelled. but it seems more major in FFX. The final aeon just seems like a common goblin to the dark aeons, which is weird because at least one of Yevon's followers summons one against you. (My memory is hazy, but I'm sure someone calls Valefor against you)

It's all tied to the gameplay and not storyline. It's obvious that Dark Aeons are just super-bosses without any meaning to the main quest, aside from some cheap excuse that they're the means to take care of the traitors.

What I'm saying is that if you only do the things that are needed to finish the game and nothing extra, then both Jecht and Yu Yevon are as strong as they should be. What makes them easy is that you have have done extra stuff in between (over leveling, BDL etc) that make them look so easy. It would be a terrible pain for someone who is bored of locating and obtaining all the sigils, extra Aeons etc to just finish the game if they were to make the final bosses much harder. Keep in mind that not everyone is a hardcore FF fan and that most people will see it as just another RPG to spend a few hours on. SI could have figured out the hardcore fans would buy the game anyway but if rumor spread that the game is "impossible to finish" they might lose some of the not-so-regular customers. Just a theory...

FFX pissed me off this morning - I was making that way up to mount Gagazet, grinded for about half an hour stealing fire and lightning gems when just before savepoint super fast fiend party killed my party without giving me any chance (turn), faak. And it wasn't like my party had low HP. I hate hate Square in situations like this.

This is my favorite game of all times. However, when I first played it was my first time in FF and first time in RPGs. I'm not kidding when I say the next: I went all the way to Evrae... the Bevelle Dragon without knowing how to use the Sphere Greed. Up until then I'd always use every single kind of Overdrive and Aeons to try to beat my bosses, being Kihmari's Self Destruct as one of my tricks up my sleeve and most powerful moves. It was in this moment when I got to Evrae that it kept kicking my ass (even though I cut it close) that I realized I was doing something wrong, and I was like hmm Sphere Grid.. what was this for in the end? Always thought it was a funny story. My characters were like level 60s and such and they weren't getting any stronger nor getting new moves!
